Good luck! Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: sig75 on June 08, 2005, 09:17:35 PM So - what are the experts' opinion on this? Will Esfandiari takeit down? He is surely my guess in this pack of wolves.
Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: BigDragon on June 08, 2005, 09:26:10 PM Do not underestimate Andy Black. He's in his element with all those big names quietly taking the lead. Not one mention of him in any of the so-called in-depth reports from the Rio.
Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: tikay on June 08, 2005, 10:53:43 PM Spot on BigDragon. I watched Andy Black destroy a table at the CityWest in one of the Irish Open support comps ealier this year, he has some game on him when he has chips. And Harry D in good shape too. Come on lads, bring that money home! Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: Bongo on June 08, 2005, 10:55:56 PM Is he the guy who was filmed for that WSOP documentary (1997?) and then became a monk for several years?
Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: tikay on June 08, 2005, 11:34:50 PM That's him. I find the contrast betwen the presumably selfless thinking of a Monk & the me me me thinking of poker an oddity, but he seems to have got his head round it. Got an excellent voice too, lovely to listen to & quite unforgettable.

"4 left in short-handed Final, Harry Demetriou is clear chip leader". Can we smell our first bracelet? Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: sig75 on June 09, 2005, 01:19:21 AM What about Esfandiari?
Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: tikay on June 09, 2005, 01:24:01 AM Esfandiari? He's OUT. And if that's the guy that does the moronic, childish & just plain dumb "wave", good riddance. Come the revolution, everyone will do it to him when he gets busted.
Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: sig75 on June 09, 2005, 01:44:24 AM Easy, Tikay ;D
It's just that I had some money on him taking this down to a nice odds. But his 5th place and $63000 didn't give me any >:( Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: tikay on June 09, 2005, 01:48:03 AM Sorry Sig. I just have contempt for folks who think it's clever to ridicule others in public for their own gratification.
I'll revert to "he's a terrific guy" mode now. Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: tikay on June 09, 2005, 02:00:34 AM Back to the business in hand. Harry D has twice as many chips as the guy in second, 2nd 3rd & 4th are all much of a muchness. Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: tikay on June 09, 2005, 02:23:22 AM Another DC text just in... "Harry D 600,000. Issac G 240,000 Tonny Grimes 240,000 David Singer 220,000. Harry is bullying for England. Literally" Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: tikay on June 09, 2005, 03:59:54 AM Harry D is strangling them now, & they are down to three.
Harry D 740,000. Issac G 420,000 David Singer 170,000. These are Dave's approximate counts. Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: sig75 on June 09, 2005, 07:58:03 AM Final results:
1st: Isaac Galazan, $315k 2nd: Harry Demetriou, $164k 3rd: Tommy Grimes, $86k 4th: David Singer, $75k Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: tikay on June 09, 2005, 11:28:58 AM Wow, thanks Sig.
A great result for Harry, but it would have been real nice if he had won the thing. But I had a hunch when he was huge chip leader with 3 left that it was all going too well. Momentum, in life as in poker, has a way of swinging to & fro, & he had been playing very aggressively. Thanks for the update. I had to get to bed, I was so tired. I am old you know. Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: Robert HM on June 09, 2005, 11:34:53 AM You can always have an early night tonight.
Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: tikay on June 09, 2005, 11:41:12 AM Hehe. Forget it Robert.
And if you are on my table, BE AFRAID. Us sponsored players don't have to take any crap from the amateurs you know. See you later! Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: Robert HM on June 09, 2005, 12:06:29 PM This is a step up for me tonight, I am treating it as an education, I am sure someone will be out to "teach me a lesson". Errr just realised I'm diverting this thread.
Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: Robert HM on June 10, 2005, 01:55:46 AM Hehe. Forget it Robert. And if you are on my table, BE AFRAID. Us sponsored players don't have to take any crap from the amateurs you know. See you later! Well tikay you were right, I was on your table,eventually, and then, with only the chance to agree on the quality of the Gutshot tea, .... I wasn't. Title: Re: WSOP Event # 6, $2500 Short Handed NL Hold Em Post by: tikay on June 10, 2005, 02:58:12 PM But good to meet you Robert. Shame we could not chat longer, but I had a table to destroy......
